When we can relate our subject to our students’ interests and through that, build relationships and trust with them, that is when we know our job is significant. -- Shelby Turner

What distinguishes Shelby beyond her peers are her passion and dedication to service to the community---as well as her dedication to excellence in teaching English Language Arts, especially for adolescents who struggle academically.

I consider Shelby to be one of the best students I have had the pleasure to teach. She is diligent, inquisitive, and a hard worker. She illustrates clear leadership and organization skills when working with her peers, who often gravitated toward her during class discussion. She will undoubtedly transfer these skills to her future teaching career. -- University Faculty
